Snow Town.
A small village dotted with small homes, lights twinkling in the
windows, covered in a blanket of snow. And the snow was still
falling, soft white flakes settling on the ground. Silence. Only the
sound of owls hooting in the cold night air broke the tranquil peace
set in the town. And there, alone, Slash stood on the balcony,
staring at the stars, the millions of beautiful twinkling lights
dotted across a black velvet sheet. It was so beautiful, yet the only
think beautiful running through his mind was Nancy…

"Hey
Slash, what's up?" called Tommy, stumbling out on to the balcony.
A boy of 16 stumbled out on to the balcony. A fat boy. In fact, Tommy
was getting seriously overweight and everyone had started to worry
about him. Slash didn't turn around to speak to Tommy. He simply
muttered, "Nothing" under his breath and continued to stare at
the splendour of the night sky.

Tommy
stepped towards the edge of the balcony and leaned on it, facing
Slash. "I could see it in your eyes. Look, just tell her how you
feel. She's bound to say yes. She's loved you for 3 years. Even
an idiot could see that. But obviously you're below that since you
can't seem to see it for yourself… Why don't you just come out
to the party tonight, enjoy yourself, ask out Nancy, get pissed, get
her into bed-" He stopped as Slash gave him an indignant look at
the rude remark. Tommy hesitated… "I should have shut up sooner…
but trust me, you should really get out there and tell her how you
feel." Tommy put a reassuring hand on Slash's shoulder.

Slash
glanced from side to side before looking at the night sky once again.
"I guess… I mean we'll still be friends if she says no, right?"
said Slash. Tommy smiled. "Of course you will be, but don't look
at it like that. Have confidence that she will say yes…"

Slash was
reassured, but only slightly, as there was still one thing running
through his mind – how would confidence help him if she didn't
feel the same way.

End of
Prologue, Chapter 1 should come very soon, and will be undoubtedly
longer.
